Great Dunmow Round Table will be collecting goods for Braintree Foodbank this December.

Throughout the month, Great Dunmow Round Table has organised for Father Christmas, along with his trusty elves and reindeer, to tour Dunmow and the surrounding area, as part of its annual Christmas collection.

The group’s Christmas collection raises money for the local community.

This year, the charity will also be collecting long-life items donated by members of the public as they visit each area, and matching any donations.

To find out when Father Christmas will be visiting your street, go to the group’s Facebook page or www.dunmowsanta.co.uk, where you can track him live.

You can leave the food you have donated on your doorstep, from 5.30pm, on the evening Father Christmas is visiting your street.

To see a list of which long-life food can be donated go to Great Dunmow Round Table’s Facebook page.
